I decided to play with Tandy 3-voice sound on the PicoMEM 2 today. There's a bit of a nuance with using Tandy sound on non Tandys, but this is a problem that has been solved. Let's explore a bit in a 🧵 here!
First of all, the PicoMEM 2 does a FANTASTIC job at emulating Tandy sound. You can go into configuration and set the appropriate port settings, or you can use the "PMINIT" program to initialize whatever you need! I am just going to set the settings via the configuration util.
Next up, we need to get some patched games. Fortunately, the hard work was already done years ago, and @TheOldskoolPC very generously continues to host the patches online! We'll grab a patch for Lemmings and copy it over to our system! Thanks @FreddyVETELE for the tip here!
@Adicolig @DustyRoseYYC They aren't real. 🤷♀️
1. We were offered USD use to start & plan a resource backed currency rather than a fiat CAD.
2. Since independence talk ramped up over the past few years, AB has out performed all of Canada.
3. We're already landlocked but cannot legally negotiate.

4. We'd set a limit of a year or two.
5. Albertans will still have Canadian citizenship unless Canada changes its laws. I am happy fewer can immigrate here from the RoC.
6. No. When Canadians leave the country they get OAS & CPP. Healthcare is already provincial...

...We can easily make an EI. Passports could be quickly established, but in the meantime we still have the Canadian one.
7. I hope prices drop. We could do with a few thousand leaving. Currently in Calgary 1 in every 5 people arrived in the last 4 years.

Me realizing why Allah asked Maryam (AS) to shake the palm tree even though she was in labor and couldn’t possibly move it.
Me Realizing…
Allah said:
“And shake towards you the trunk of the palm tree.” (Qur’an 19:25)
Why ask the impossible?
Maryam (AS) was in labor.
Alone.
Weak.
In pain.
And a palm trunk is massive.

Allah could have sent the dates down without any effort.
No shaking.
No pain.
No movement.
But He didn’t.
Because miracles don’t cancel effort. They meet it.

A Warning from Scripture and Personal Experience 🧵
Friends, as a Christian who once deeply supported the “Great Awakening” and Q-adjacent ideas, I need to share a sober warning from Scripture and personal experience.

2/ Over ten years ago, in prayer, I believed the Lord showed me Donald Trump would win and expose evil. I poured countless hours into promoting him — often neglecting my family — convinced this was God’s plan.
3/ I saw Q drops mixed with Bible verses as confirmation. The “hidden knowledge,” the “plan,” the awakened versus the sleeping… it felt like spiritual warfare unfolding in real time.
Courts have found that DHS has repeatedly violated 4th Amendment. In Garrison G. v. Bondi, the Court found DHS violated Garrison’s 4th amendment right by entering his home without a judicial warrant. He was one of several victims of MN home invasions

In USA v. Juarez-Lopez, the Court found DHS detained numerous employees of a NY manufacturing plant without basis. The only reason we know about it is b/c DHS tried to criminally charge Juarez-Lopez, and the judge suppressed the evidence

The NY raid occurred AFTER DHS tried and failed to secure a judicial warrant in a similar case in Texas to go into a business without probable cause to interrogate the workers about their status. Undeterred, DHS went ahead with no relevant warrant in NY

1/ When trans activists aren't harassing lesbians, one of their preferred tactics is to silence gay men
One such gay man, Associate Professor Dr. Foran of Keble College, Oxford has just had to cancel a lecture series because some people go to university to shout and not to learn

2/ Associate Professor Foran is one of our foremost legal minds on the subject of sex and gender as it relates to equality law. He has a nationally significant mind and his work has been referenced in the UK Supreme Court by the Law Lords.
3/ He does genuine public good by contributing to legal debates on sex/gender, moreover, you might take the view that him offering free public lectures on the subject in addition to the hours he puts in to public debates on this is an overall good thing
Since 2024, I’ve spent $200k learning how business, marketing & sales work.
In 2 years, I scaled my media agency to $2 million in revenue, worked with billionaire founders & launched my 3rd company 2 weeks ago.
22 things I’ve learned so far: 🧵

22 things I’ve learned so far: 🧵
1/ Invest more in operations than in sales
You can learn sales with experience. But operations require systems & playbooks which are veins of a business.
Cashflow is a business’s blood but without veins, it will bleed out.
You’ll realise this when it’s too late.
Act now.

2/ It's better to hire for character than experience
It sounds absurd but most experienced people don’t have the best character.
The success blinds them & they’ll leave you in a flick of a second.
To have loyalty, train a newbie. They’ll forever be grateful.

If you visit someone’s home and notice dust on their chandelier, don’t ever go back. Not because their house is dirty, but because your heart is.
They open their door to you. They call for you. They welcomed you with smiles. And you’re inspecting their furniture.
Please don’t be the guest who walks into someone’s home looking for what’s wrong instead of what’s beautiful. We’re in a generation that notices the one dirty dish but ignores the home-cooked meal, that sees the unmade bed but misses the open heart.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 continues its massive mid-range strike campaign against russian 🇷🇺 logistics.
Since early May, more than 290 russian trucks and vehicles have been hit. I have now mapped 210 strikes since january.

🧵THREAD🧵1/14 ⬇️
The strike campaign is guided by multiple units, using a large veriety of drones.
The backbone of it are the FP-1/2 strikes on key logistics hubs, mainly oil/fuel depots, trains, gas stations, electric substations and rear bases.
Those strikes are often guided with AI.

The latest video recently published showcased some strikes around Melitopol (few missed) with Hornet drones.
Interestlingly, everything is not blurred, which helps understanding how they are using those drones.

Landmark genetic study published in the journal Cell analyzed ancient DNA to map the genomic history of the Southern Levant. Findings offer powerful scientific evidence of Jewish indigeneity. cell.com/action/showPdf…
The study, "The Genomic History of the Bronze Age Southern Levant," analyzed genome-wide DNA from 73 ancient individuals across 5 archaeological sites, spanning the Bronze and Iron Ages (ca. 2500–1000 BCE). These people shared what we call "Canaanite" material culture.
Ancient DNA reveals 1. Core Ancestry: Ancient Canaanites were a genetic mix of local Stone Age (Neolithic) populations and migrants from the northeast (Zagros Mountains/Caucasus). 2. Genetic Homogeneity: "Canaanites" across different sites were highly genetically similar.
1/1 The idea of using Iran’s restricted funds in Qatar, Oman, and Iraq for internet access to Iranians sounds appealing. But there’s a fundamental legal problem most people miss: those funds aren’t really under U.S. control to begin with.
@USTreasury blocking means assets in the U.S. or held by U.S. persons are frozen. The accounts in Qatar and Iraq are restricted, not formally blocked. The U.S. can’t just redirect them. Its leverage is secondary sanctions, not possession and that’s a huge difference.

2/2 So what would actually have to happen to redirect those funds?
Step one: the U.S. would need to recognize an Iranian exile government as the legitimate Government of Iran, stripping the Islamic Republic of its legal claim to those assets. That’ll take a presidential determination.
Step two: @USTreasury and @StateDept would need to redefine “Government of Iran” and adapt a similar approach to the Syria case after Assad fell. This is not that straightforward.

3/3 Step three: secondary sanctions would need to be muted or waived, maybe with a definition of the Government of Iran (recognizing the exile government would potentially do that). Gulf banks won’t touch these transfers without protection. Iran’s secondary sanctions regime is far more expansive than Syria’s Caesar Act.
Step four, and this is the one people always forget: Qatar, Oman, Iraq, and the banks holding these accounts would have to voluntarily cooperate. They have their own relationships with the regime in Iran. No U.S. law compels them to transfer sovereign funds to an exile body with no territory. Remember post JCPOA, Obama admin had to throw cash on pallets because no bank would move Iranian funds even if asked by the US government.
